COURSE DESCRIPTION

Science is inviting you to transcend the vernacular notion of “happiness”. Is it really “joy” or “excitement”? Does it really result from "wealth", “consumption” or “status”? Or is it really something else? The thinking of philosophers, neuroscientists, behavioral scientists and clinicians has converged: Happiness is “an inside job”, that is durable and that elevates and heals. But is it a feeling or a state of mind? The science reveals a happiness that is rooted in action, not consumption—in action, not just positive thinking—in action, not just solitary contemplation. It is action that is accessible and doable, clears thinking, advances emotional resiliency, and epitomizes well-being. This series can be characterized as a combination of scholarship and an awareness of practical strategies. There will be lectures, videos, a bibliography of texts and A/V, and hopefully a considerable exchange of ideas and curiosities.
